£550m Everton takeover in doubt as US investigates buyers over alleged money laundering

The £550m takeover of Everton by 777 partners is in doubt, as US Department of Justice is investigating money laundering allegations against the company. Outcome of the reported investigation could lead to the Premier League blocking the deal under new rules introduced in March. The investigation is a huge development as the Premier League now has the authority to prevent potential club owners under investigation for conduct constituting a ‘Disqualifying Event’ from completing a takeover. Such events include violence, corruption, fraud, and tax evasion. Everton acquisition by 777 Partners in doubt – Getty image Recall that Everton’s majority shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, agreed in September to sell his 94% stake to 777 Partners. The initial 12-week timeline for completing the sale has lapsed, but Everton was optimistic about finalizing the deal by Christmas before news of the US investigation emerged. The Premier League is currently subjecting 777 Partners co-owners, Josh Wander and Steven Pasko, to the Owners and Directors’ Test. Meanwhile, Everton are already dealing with the repercussions of a ten-point deduction for a single breach of Premier League financial rules, placing them in the relegation zone. Despite this setback, Everton secured their first victory since the points penalty with a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Why Ten Hag will be absent from touchline during Manchester United’s test against Everton

Manchester United’s manager Erik ten Hag will be absent from the touchline during the Sunday clash with Everton at Goodison Park. The unexpected absence is a result of a new Premier League rule that imposes a one-match touchline ban for a manager accumulating three yellow cards in a season. Ten Hag incurred his third yellow during United’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Luton just before the international break. The incident occurred when a throw-in decision was overturned in the second half, causing frustration from the Dutchman.

Everton to face another nine-point deduction if Burnley, Leicester, Leeds are successful with £300m compensation claim

Everton could face further nine-point deduction if Burnley, Leicester, Leeds are successful with their £300m compensation claim. Everton’s prospective buyers 777Partners had committed to providing £20 million per month to support the club’s running costs during the Premier League’s assessment of their takeover bid. However, they may not be willing to cover a compensation cost reaching tens of millions of pounds. The deal between Farhad Moshiri and 777 in September includes clauses reducing the sale price significantly if Everton is instructed to pay compensation or faces relegation. Everton could face further nine-point deduction – Getty image Their current financial constraints mean Everton could struggle to settle the huge compensation bill, and could result to an automatic nine-point reduction, a scenario said to have introduced by the Premier League in 2004. According to Mail Sports, the compensation claim initiated by Burnley, Leicester and Leeds, could amount to £100 million each, based on the loss of Premier League income during seasons when Everton overspent. If Everton fails to address these challenges, it could become the third club in Premier League history to suffer points deductions. They will follow Middlesbrough, who suffered such fate in 1997 and Portsmouth in 2010. Both teams were also subsequently relegated.

Chelsea, Manchester City fear relegation after historic point deduction for Everton

Chelsea and Manchester City fear relegation after Everton’s historic ten-point deduction for breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. Everton’s sanction has raised concerns from other clubs in the Premier League who are under investigation for similar offenses. UK legal sports experts have suggested that if found guilty, both Manchester City, who faced 115 FFP charges in January, and Chelsea, currently under investigation for transfers during Roman Abramovich’s tenure, could potentially face relegation. Stefan Borson, a popular sports lawyer said, “Ten points for Everton feels harsh for a straightforward Financial Fair Play breach. Chelsea and Manchester City managers – Getty image “But it reinforces that sanctions against City and now Chelsea will be potentially relegation-inducing,” The Sun UK reported. Manchester City have in the past, consistently denied all allegations on the case and fielded top legal representatives. Chelsea, on the other hand, disclosed issues of illegal financial dealings from Abramovich’s era and are awaiting the outcome of investigations into the alleged offenses that span over multiple years. Meanwhile, the three-man commission leading Everton’s case noted the gravity of the breach. They said that Everton had an irresponsible management of finances and failed to operate within the agreed threshold. “Everton’s culpability is great. This was a serious breach that requires a significant penalty. “We cannot ignore the fact that the failure to comply with the regime was the result of Everton irresponsibly taking a chance that things would turn out positively. “Further, Everton was less than frank in its dealings with the Premier League over the stadium interest issue. “Everton failed to manage its finances so as to operate within the generous threshold,” they added. Everton’s interim chief Colin Chong on the other hand, has vowed that the club will appeal the decision, stating it’s a verdict that affects the club, just as it affects it fans.

Danjuma had rejected a move to Everton in January because of uncertainty over the managerial situation. He has now agreed to accept Everton’s latest approach amid interest in him from Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest. He told the club’s website; “It’s been a long time coming to join such a massive club as Everton and it makes me proud. “I had interest from other clubs but there was a pull towards Everton because of the fans, the manager and the history of the club and it’s second time lucky for me. “I know I did not move to the club in January, that was because there was some uncertainty over the manager situation at that time, but I think it makes it even more beautiful for me to join now.” Arnaut Danjuma training with his Villarreal teammates.

The Dutch footballer added; “I hope to bring a lot of goals and a lot of assists. The manager has improved the team and there is a process ahead with him in charge that I am excited to be part of. “There’s no vein in my body that doubts my quality, and I’m very determined to now show that for the Evertonians.” Danjuma has six caps for the Netherlands and was a key member of the Villarreal side beaten by Liverpool in the 2021-22 Champions League semi-finals. This will be his third spell in the English top flight after signing for Bournemouth in 2019 and leaving for La Liga in 2021.

Jordan Pickford confirms he’s staying at Everton despite interests

England goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford has confirmed that he will be staying at Everton for the 2023-24 campaign, despite reports suggesting he could leave. The England number one has played a pivotal role in keeping Everton afloat in the top flight for the past couple of seasons and remains Gareth Southgate’s undisputed first choice for the Three Lions. However, Pickford has naturally been linked with a departure from the Merseyside club amid their relegation scraps, especially with Euro 2024 on the horizon.

But the 29-year-old signed a new contract back in February and it seems he’s keen to remain in Merseyside. Speaking to The Athletic, Jordan Pickford confirmed his desire to remain at Everton next season. He told the publication; ‘Definitely, I’ll be here next season. I’ve just signed a new contract and I’m happy and my family is happy so now we just want to move forward as a club.’ Everton finished one place and two points above the relegation zone in May and guaranteeing safety by just a four-point margin the year previous.

Everton are one of the few teams that have never been relegated from England’s top division and Pickford warned that the club can’t repeat the same mistakes next season. He said; ‘We should never have been in that position. We lost a lot of games that we shouldn’t have ever lost, or we had chances where we should have taken points from more games. ‘It was our own fault that we ended up in that position. But it does show the type of characters we are to get out of that situation. We need to knuckle down and work hard on the training pitch.’
